Abstract

Progress in sintering process and improvement of mechanical properties of silicon nitride ceramics are reviewed. Emphases are placed on contributions of advanced sintering techniques and better understanding of sintering additives and microstructure-properties relations. Current applications as engine components and cutting tools are described, and future prospect is considered.
